Jimmy’s Farm and Wildlife Park is changing its opening hours as the clocks prepare to go back and the darker winter months arrive.

The attraction, at Wherstead near Ipswich, will switch to its winter opening timetable from Saturday, October 24.

Under the new hours, the wildlife park will be open from 9.30am until 4pm, with last admission at 3pm.

It will continue to open seven days a week.

The change comes as British Summer Time ends on Sunday, October 25, when the clocks go back by one hour.

Jimmy’s Farm’s summer season currently runs until Friday, October 23, with the attraction open from 9.30am until 5pm and last entry at 4pm.

The winter timetable is set to remain in place until March 2027, with the attraction closed on Christmas Day and Boxing Day.

The change also coincides with the start of the farm’s October half-term programme, which runs from October 24 until November 1.
